libxft2 (2.1.8.2-2) is missing FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden,

Symptoms:
Make fails to link LyX, missing the above mentioned symbol.

./configure fails to find the "Qt library" because the test code
compiled for this purpose also fails to link in the same way.


Hi Helge

I'm thinking of trying to compile LyX on Debian testing in a while -
actually, at the earliest in two weeks or so. But when I do try, can I ask
you about what steps I need to take?  In return, I promise to document the
steps that are required.
For the moment, testing is okay. The troublesome libxft2 is in
"unstable".  If you run into this, the fix is:

apt-get install libxft2=2.1.7-1
